Table 7 Enquiry Responses
4.2.2 Fatal Error Responses
Fatal error responses are enquiry responses that halt the printer’s current operation and
cause the indicator light or LED to flash RED in color. A fatal error condition persists until
the condition causing the error is removed and the error is cleared. These enquiry
responses are sent from the printer to the host, when the appropriate condition occurs, by
issuing the “Ctrl+E” (^E) combination or by issuing the queued “^D327)1” command. The
printer may be configured to automatically reports errors and status messages by using the
^D72x series commands. The following sections provide further explanations of the various
fatal error responses. Refer to the ^D550) command regarding the types of enquiry
response sets.
NOTE: The following section titles are the responses that the printer will generate once the
associating condition occurs and the printer processes an enquiry command. The first
response (between and including the “>” and “<” characters) is generated if text and
verbose responses have been enabled using the ^D550) command. The ASCII hex value
listed between the parenthesis characters, indicate the enquiry response if byte mode has
been enabled.

>STOCK OUT< (01)
